Sacred/Hymn Arrangements for Solo Trombone w/ or w/o Piano

[JMHTrombone]

I'm looking at getting some recommendations for sacred/hymn tune arrangements to perform that fit in the 'Slow Melody' competition genre.

It's always great to support arrangers by buying the sheet music, and that's even better when it's a PDF download, so if you've got any suggestions, post them below.

I think it would work with piano -- Liszt's "Hosannah!"

I just played Fuare’s Pei Jesu from his Requiem on a recital. It’s a popular soprano solo, but lays well on alto. I put it up a fourth into Eb instead of the original key of Bb. It’s a gorgeous piece of music. I can’t ever get the recording of Voces8 performing it out of my head.

I’ve had a couple of students play David Fetter’s Variations on Dona Nobis Pacem. Nice unaccompanied piece, with a nice slow melody to open. It’s meant for bass trombone and comes in Eb and C. The the Eb version only goes to a trigger Eb, if my memory serves, so it could be done on a tenor with an F attachment. Some of the variations are quite challenging!

Bill Pearce did a couple books of tbone solos with piano. I played them in high school a lot. viewtopic.php?t=369

Take a look at Share My Yoke (or, really, just about anything in the Salvation Army solo arrangements). There’s an arrangement for Bb cornet and piano by Ivor Bosanko that would be easy enough to transcribe to bass clef, assuming you don’t already read Bb treble clef.

Also, lots of oratorio, mass, and operatic solos lay well as instrumental solos, like If with All Your Hearts (Mendelssohn, Elijah), Lord, to Thee (Handel, Theodora), I Know That My Redeemer Liveth (Handel, Messiah), Waft Her, Angels (Handel, Jephtha), Abends will Ich schlafen gehn (Humperdink, Hansel und Gretel), Panis Angelicus (Franck, Messe à Trois Voix) …

I just played Faure’s Pie Jesu from his Requiem on a recital.

FTFY.

Peter Moore's latest CD 'Shift' has Blessed Assurance arr. Simon Wood, it's with brass band, but I would think there may be a piano version.
There's also Erik Leidzen concertino (Christ was the shepherd) on the same CD, which has a piano version.
I've also heard Peter play Walk with Me (Steadman Allen) which has a piano acct version.
